A former Amazon business analyst claims he was arbitrarily laid off in January, receiving a two-month severance package despite previous assurances from his manager that his job was secure.
Layoffs were chaotic, with employees editing each other's project descriptions, causing confusion and misattribution of work.
Despite being approached by Amazon for re-hiring four times, the ex-employee declined, feeling unappreciated and losing trust in the company.
The experience left the former employee feeling depersonalized and concerned about the company's job security, even though he had worked hard in his role.
